Having not actually tried the food at Back Yard Burgers it’d be unfair to pre-judge this burger chain which just opened its first local branch. But conclusions can be drawn from the raw data, yes? Thus: Anything that seems like a + will be hilited in blue; negatives will be red. The chain was formed in Mississippi in 1987. the standard is a 1/3-lb made w/ black angus beef. they offer a smaller 1/8-lb option. they have a handful of themed burgers such as the Hawaiian "dipped in Hawaiian sauce" and topped w/, among other things, grilled pineapple. plus a choice of fries: incl waffle, seasoned, or chili. Also chick-breast sandwiches, hot dogs, baked potatoes, salads, &cobbler. There’s 175 Back Yard Burgers in 20 states. Some people like them; some don’t.

We went there several times now. Burgers are fresh and juicy. Waffle fries are good, but too few. We wanted to share a large, but that meant about 3 waffle fries a piece. We tried some of the chicken sandwiches, too, and were happy with them.Alltogether I like them better than most chains.

Delicate emissions? That's rich. (Like me!) I'm quite sure that the little rat-dog who comments on this blog is as farty as they come. Dogs, unfortunately, are well known for their gas - except for the ones in my care. I always make sure to grind up a tablet of "Bean-o" into their daily gruel.

as to the complaint from Anonymous: i might agree with you if the blog were called Reviews You Can Eat. or Reviews You Can Read. or even just Reviews. but my goal on this blog is to break news. i try to write about stuff first. i like this to be a newsy place. filled with news. (sometimes it turns out that the things i write about have been written about elsewhere. but when i writes about 'em, they's news to me, baby.) if i had to try these places before writing about them, i might miss the all-important news angle i value so intensely. but thanks for your fantastic input.

right on, BK, you took the words right out of my mouth.anonymous, we've all tried to get TG to admit to trying the food she writes about, but she remains true to her principles, and just tells us what's going on, what's new...

I love chili, but I don't think it belongs on french fries. Neither does cheese. Salt and ketchup is OK. I'll even put up with pepper. But you might as well be eating noodles if you put anything else on fries.

i work there and its better quality food than say McDonalds it may be a little more exspensive but its better quality our meat is raw when we get it and we cook it over a flame how many fast food restraunts can say that?

Found out there are great burgers at a place called Yesterdays Texas in Bridgeport, you must try them out with the loaded cheddar fries... save room for the apple pie then kick back and enjoy their 50's atmosphere

one popped up here in lafayette louisiana.. its weird though cause they didn't build their own building.. they remodeled a krispy kreme on a busy, congested main road in front of a walmart that closed down because they probably wasn't getting enough business.. it seems enticing but sounds expensive..
